$38,000 would be the price I would pay for a Mulholland that's been sitting. That's the price other's have gotten this summer, (unfortuantly, not me) and thers's one sitting on this web site that's being offern by a dealer that's never been titled for that price . I would guess I the dealer you're working with won't go near there based on the price you're talking about. But at least you have other options.

If you go with you original color preferences, you will probably pay more so keep that in mind.

As for 2, it's all about personal preference ...

Hi Gang,
While in Lubbock TX this week, Spirit Chrysler has a 2001 Blue Prowler that has never been titled. I inquired about trading in my 01 vette convertible. Wholesale they offered was 36,000 or 37,000. I owe 41,000. I called Corvette Mike, he offered the same price for the vette. My question is: What is the max I should pay for this Prowler ? And do you think buying two Prowler's is wise. Your response would really help me. Spirit Chrysler is asking $ 48,000.

Don't you just love the fact that any car you trade is worth crap and what they want to sell is at a premium?

The dealer is clearly ripping you off. If they still have it, Greenville Chrysler (north of Dallas Texas) had a new Mulholland for $34.5K.

There are several places around Texas selling oranges and mulhollands for mid 30's. Tell that dealer to take a hike (without a compass)

My reasons for my switch were many and varied. When it came down to it, I'll always be able to pick up another Vette. New Prowlers are disappearing and when they're gone, there gone.

Although I grew up always wanting a Vette (the first model I built when I was 7 or 8 was a split-window C2), it took til I was 46 to get one. When I bought my car, my dealer (a combined Chevy/Chrysler dealer) had both a red Vette and a red Prowler. It took me a couple of days to decide but I went with the Vette, mainly for the practicality of it (storage, fuel capacity, ride, ...) in addition to the fun. Although we took our Vette on a few long trips, we mostly used it as a "toy" to cruise around town in and drive through the mountain twisties. For that, the Prowler is more than adequate.
